Abstract
The present invention improves input/output speed by multiplexing/demultiplexing data and also reducing the processing time required for interrupt handling. The present invention involves a process which requests input/output operation; an adapter which performs input/output operation based on the request from the process; and a scheduler which keeps the process in wait state while the adapter is performing input/output operation. When the input/output operation of the adapter is completed, the state of the process waiting for the completion of the operation is changed into 'runnable' by the adapter, and the execution of the process which requested input/output operation is thereby restarted.
